Hiking Highlight

Tips
This striking building in the Tsukiji area of Tokyo - best known for its huge fish market - is far removed from any other Buddhist temple you can find in Japan. Its architecture is a strange amalgam of influences, though the elaborate stone façade is most reminiscent of the shapes and motifs of traditional Indian structures. The Japanese government has declared the temple an important cultural asset.
